I've come back to this video often since you first put it out. You got me hooked on laker jigging. Thanks.

Thank you for the video. I use a line counter reel for when the fish are suspended. Great Lakes fish generally look up while feeding, so you don't want to be below the level of where the fish are located. I start jigging above the level of the fish and gradually work down until I find them. Which can be above or slightly below the thermocline; usually within about a 10 foot range. Fish will come up to feed, especially when aggressive, so use that first fish as a starting point for the best depth range. Keep an eye on your electronics for bait fish and structure. The Great Lakes are massive, so location is crucial. Especially when jigging, because you are not covering as much water as when trolling with multiple rods at various depths. But, jigging can keep you over fish for much longer once you've found them. Remember to punch in way points when you get hit. A controlled drift between way points is good for those days when wind is a factor. Drift socks help to slow you and I usually go with a heavier jig under these conditions. The same 1 to 2 ounce sizes work under most conditions. Check to make sure your line counter is accurate, especially after a fish. Simply zero out the counter on the surface before your drop.

very impressive ! I like to use left handed bait casters myself and used lil cleo glow in the dark spoons but never tried jigging spoons

Excellent tips and techniques on jigging! Nice black lab as well.

I never liked my cardiff 400 LH since day one when it bound tight and I lost 80yds braid and a $13 spoon. After several lockups and no help from Shimano I decided to machine and tap the casing to prevent this which has taken care of the issue. Vert jigging is one thing, but if you go into the bays for pike you may eventually experience it. Great video!

as a canuck to the north you have the best american fishing show and hunting on you tube aye your friends from the north

very informative, great video . going to try these techniques and see how it works for me

Beautiful patterns on your lake trout. Love it!

Nice work. Excellent job on the channel.

Love these videos love learning new tips and tricks

Ok thank you again great video definitely the best out there

Great video dude, I thought it could be done, just never seen anybody do it. Hopefully, I can do this on Lake Ontario.....cheers

Just a headed up bro from a lefty, right handed people use left hand retrieve reels and lefties use right hand so you are using the correct reel for your hand dominance, nice fish man

awesome video!

wow man thanks for this video resale changer my approach for hunting deep water beauties with out down rigging

Good info, you make jigging in 100+ FOW look like a breeze! I know from trying to jig walleye in 40 foot that it's not the easiest thing to do. Throw in any kind of wind and now the work begins. Nice vid!

Thanks for the tips... good video.

Hey guys, another top video,nice trout,well done and much regards from the boys down under.

Awesome vids bud!

You are a good sport my dude
